Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 21st January 1942, reference HJS/MMA, re the splining of the bore of the steering wheels. We have written to Burman & Sons Ltd., Ryland Road, BIRMINGHAM 15, who are producing the steering column and units which the steering wheels are to suit, and they will be pleased to broach the hub bores for us. Will you therefore arrange to send them the hub centres before the rims are fitted, in order that they can do this job. Yours faithfully, Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd. | ||
